Jim Starlin, more cast members of Guardians of the Galaxy movies, Alex Winter, and Bobcat Goldthwait chime in for support for James Gunn amidst being fired by Disney.

Since our last article, more stars from Guardians of the Galaxy movies threw in their support for director James Gunn after he was abruptly fired by Disney for decades-old tweets. Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, and Karen Gillan threw their hats in for support going along with co-stars Dave Bautista and Sean Gunn for support of the ousted director.

“Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters. Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.”

As Michael Rooker, he thanked his followers on Twitter and then deleted the account yesterday with this being his last post:

This account will be inactive after today. We're very tired & upset over the ongoing [issues] ... neither I nor my rep will use Twitter again. Twitter sucks and I want nothing to do with it.

Besides the cast, Thanos-creator and comic legend Jim Starlin talked about it on Facebook:

After giving it a couple days to think over this James Gunn/Disney controversy, I've come to the conclusion that the Mouse got played. Yes, Gunn's decade-old tweets were distasteful and stupid, but clearly meant to be foolishly provocative rather than taken as advocacy. The whole uproar over them was plainly ginned up by two Breitbart hatchet men, John Nolte and Mike Cernovich, in response to Rosanne Barr's firing for her repeated hate-filled and racist tweets. I have to agree with Dave Bautisa on this one. Disney accepted a ridiculous apple and oranges argument and made one hell of a bad call.

and finally Alex Winter has also become very vocal in his support for Gunn:

I absolutely was, and would never mistake Gunn's jokes for perpetration, regardless of whether or not I found them funny. Gunn made mistakes, owned up to them ages ago and left up the tweets for transparency. This is a far right hit-job, nothing more. https://t.co/je5ybtwN9Q
